In the Threads I Found is a pedagogical resource for teachers, mothers, daughters and sisters, centered on the embedded knowledge of the back-strap loom. The investigation for this book, which started off intuitively and was then reaffirmed with a community of weavers, is formalized into five chapters that overlooks themes ranging from the sensorial, needs and stimuli, environment and materiality and techniques and innovation, with theoretical and practical references. Each activity is written to envelop us in the world of weaving.
For us, the authors, Hellen Ascoli and Negma Coy, it is important to have this book reach different learning spaces once it is printed, so that it may serve as a support to all those who guide us in this woven world.
